The Mongol invasion of China lasted over 6 decades and particularly involved the defeat of the Jin Dynasty, Western Xia, the Dali Kingdom, and the Southern Song, which finally fell in year 1276. The Mongols under Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty in China and crushed the last Song resistance in 1279, which marked the onset of all of China under the Yuan. This was the first time that whole China was ruled by the foreign state. People say the Mongol warrior is less then a person and more of a blood-thirsty monster. Although the mongols were vicious warriors, they wern't terrible leaders, they just wanted to raise money and leave, but Genghis Kahn, Kublai Kahn's grandfather, was a vicious and beast of a ruler and raised one of the greatest empires in all of history. The reason the Mongolians were so good at taking over is because of the shooting horseman. They invented the modern day sturrupts for a horse sattle which allowed them to stand and menouver with the bow & arrow and shoot down any person.
